Next week the Democrats are set to meet in Denver for their presidential nominating convention. The expected winner is Barack Obama.
It looks as though the Clintons are going todominate the convention, though.
Hillary Clinton will make a prime time speech, as will her husband Bill the next night. Chelsea Clinton is expected to introduce [...]
It’s been a tough couple of days for the Speaker of the House.
Cindy Sheehan has secured the signatures which will qualify her to compete against the Speaker in her upcoming re-election bid.
Now that could be quite interesting to watch. Not that I expect Ms. Sheehan to to a serious threat [...]
Perhaps not so interesting in the sense that Barack Obama has added former Clinton aide Patti Solis Doyle to his staff but more intriguing as to the position she will assume:
FLINT, Mich.– The Obama campaign announced on Monday that it has chosen Patti Solis Doyle to a key general election post, making her the first [...]
I must say it, even though it might be unpopular..I felt sorry for Barack Obama last night.
What a shame that his words had to be lost once again in the rhetoric (and plea for money) from one (at least at this writing) candidate.
Having watched all three speeches, I can only summarize this way:
John [...]
Tuesday evening when I read that the GOP had lost another House seat in a traditionally Republican district in Mississippi, it set me to wondering how in the world the party digs themselves out of the hole they have created.
Karl Rove has a few ideas in this article published in the Wall Street Journal:
Why is [...]
This may be only the thoughts of one writer but when I read this paragraph (particularly the final sentence), it made me silently scream NO!
It’s called scorched earth. The Clintons are not accustomed to losing and it seems they’re going to make the Democratic party pay for not choosing her. This primary may end up [...]
While being cautious in their headline by using the word “possible,” the NYT offers a sensible assessment of the current state of not just the race for the nomination but that of the party of a whole on the Democrat side of the aisle:
Certainly, no one is expecting a couple with such political skills, an [...]
This is one time I find I cannot argue with much of what Reverend Sharpton has to say:
I write this letter as a former Democratic candidate for President of the United States and a civil rights leader who has fought his entire life for fairness and justice for all people regardless of the color of [...]
The finger wagged, the eyes narrowed, the angry tone bounced off the walls as he spoke. “I did not have sexual relations with that woman,— Ms. Lewinsky.”
Remember how you felt as a sitting President attempted to convince us that this was a fabrication being fueled by the Republicans and the press?
I did not write the [...]
This is an editorial By Martin O’Malley and Harold Ford Jr.
makes sense to me.
With President Bush and the Republican Party on the rocks, many Democrats think the 2008 election will be, to borrow a favorite GOP phrase, a cakewalk. Some liberals are so confident about Democratic prospects that they contend the centrism that vaulted Democrats [...]
This is going to be an interesting piece of legislation to watch. Let’s see how well they hold up against the lobbyist. They are always accusing the Republicans of catering to big business.
Will they fight or cave?
With the House set to take up legislation this week that would sharply cut subsidies to student loan [...]
Read this report from Politico and you will see there are differences in the Democratic party as to how far to go anti-war in the campaign.
As George McGovern is loosely quoted as saying, it wins the primary but it doesn’t win the general election.
For Democrats of a certain age, there is no figure more haunting [...]
